ok so it would appear these dipshits didnt know a thing about stealing cars and managed to pop all 3 of the big fuses under the hood attempting to hotwire it.

im going to pick up a new 40, 50 and 60 amp tomorrow if i get a chance but im a bit worried because 60 amps is a lot of current. is there any risk of my ECU or loom being fried? hazards and so on work fine but we tried to cross wires to see if it would start today which is when we discovered the popped fuses.

i dunno what im gonna do if the looms fried... ive never done a loom swap and i hate electrical ****. i could swap ECU's easy enough tho. off topic but shes running a PM7 with the A9 as stock.. if she has fried the ECU will any D series ECU work? what about one from a D14 auto?

 

Well, if there is still a short present the fuse will pop again. Just look under the dash area look for any "non-stock" wiring

 

from what i can see all they did was rip the wires off the back of the ignition barrel. everything else looks fine.

we tried to push the fried fuses with a scrwedriver so they would touch to see if it would turn over but it didnt. im thinking they crossed the wrong wires..

anyone know which wires to cross to start the car? i can put up a pic of what wires i got dangling down tomorrow if it would help.

If they ripped up yur ignition wiring, jus stop a junkyard and grab another ignition switch.
